The next fight to make: Stipe vs Tyson

Yes because having the UFC HW champion and widely perceived HW GOAT knocked out by a 55 year old man that really doesn't box anymore would be a brilliant business move.
 
Stipe and Ngannou wouldn’t beat any ranked pro boxer in the top 50 and likely in the top 100.
I don't think that HW boxing is that deep personally and I still think they'd finish the decrepit old man that Mike Tyson fought on Saturday.
 
Anderson Silva vs Mike Tyson

I'm convinced its going to happen

It is that deep. It’s a global sport that’s accessible to the poorest of countries.

You think pro boxers have hundreds of amateur fights and dozens of pro fights before a title shot unnecessarily? They go through these extensive preparations because they know it’s all necessary to succeed. If you could just walk in against a highly ranked fighter with a limited background, everyone would be doing it.

I don’t care how many knuckleheads Stipe and Ngannou crush in mma, they’re a mismatch for any established/ranked pro.

I'm a bigger boxing fan than I am MMA fan, HW is shallow just like in MMA. There just aren't that many dudes in the world that are size, athletic and want to compete in fighting sports. Anthony Joshua won the Olympic gold medal despite only five years training and Deontay Wilder turned pro with three years training yet became a world champion, neither of those men have hundreds of amateur fights. You might be correct that Ngannou and Miocic lose to anyone in the top 50 but HW boxing is not deep at all.
 
Tyson vs Royce on the other hand would be fun at this point.
 
You mad Tyson would fuk you til you love him bitch?

ya u mad
Right? What does fame have to do with going to jail anyway? If Tyson isn't the most famous boxer of all time he's clearly number 2. I fail to see the absurdity in that statement.
 
Lol people actually thinking Stipe would beat Tyson in a boxing match
 
Most famous boxer of all time hahahaahaha. You ever here of Ali. Pretty famous boxer who never went to jail for rape. Please delete your account
Yeah okay I'll post about Stipe vs Ali see how the public responds to that matchup

Yes, Tyson is the most famous - for good or bad reasons.
 
I'd love to see them boxing. Keeping the 2mins 8 rounds format it would be very interesting! It's a lose-lose for Miocic tho so no way he's going to accept that.
How is it lose-lose if he gets $5mill? Of course, only boxing would be competitive.

Is 5 mil enough? I'm not sure. He can probably get more in a superfight with a current champion if he wants to. People would trash him for fighting a 54 years old man and winning the fight would make things even worse.
 
Tyson looked fantastic for a 54 year old man but make no mistake, any current top 15 HW boxer would have finished that version of Jones Jr, Stipe and Ngannou would likely do the same.
exactly. idk why people find that so hard to understand. age is one of the most important factors in a fight, especially once you hit your 40s let alone 50s.

Did you watch Stipe vs Fabio Maldonado (40-5 amateur / 26-4 pro)?

Maldonado went the distance with Takam, who went 10 rounds with Anthony Joshua
